More young people need mental health support than ever before. The demand for child and adolescent mental health services has risen by over 60% since 2013 far exceeding what can be delivered.

The CAMHS Digital Lab builds tools to meet this challenge – aiming to streamline clinical processes, provide population insights, and offer novel ways of understanding young people’s needs. The team work to enable CAMHS services to be more efficient and accurate while reducing costs.

The CAMHS Digital Lab is a collaborative initiative between South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), NIHR Maudsley BRC, King’s Maudsley Partnership and King’s College London’s Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
